Yahoo will close its Yahoo 360

by Juan Carlos Perez , IDG News Service
Yahoo will close its Yahoo 360 social-networking site in July, something it originally planned to do in early 2008 and later delayed to last year's second half.
Yahoo 360, once the company's best bet to compete in the social-networking market, will shut down on July 13, by which time its users should have migrated over to the new Yahoo Profiles service, the company said Friday.
When it first announced in October 2007 that it would close Yahoo 360, the company said its intention was to transition to a "universal" Yahoo profile, a plan it reiterated when it launched its ambitious Yahoo Open Strategy (Y OS) in April 2008.
In September 2008, it closed its other social-networking site, Yahoo Mash, which never evolved beyond an early stage service.
However, it wasn't until October 2008 that the company launched its "universal" profile service, Yahoo Profiles, which incorporates basic social-networking functions, giving people the ability to publish information about their lives, create a list of friends, broadcast status updates and keep a blog with text entries, photos, videos and Web links.

With Google Wave, you can do traditional Email-like conversations, live chat, share pictures, integrate with other services, and many other things that used to require separate applications.
Google has also defined a protocol that defines what “Waves” are, and how they are used. The first application to use that protocol is the open source Google Wave service. Since it’s open source, it would be very easy for anyone to start their own Wave server.
